    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.

  6. I learned to idle watching movies on my monitor. Not uni movies, you
    know, just movies. It can take a while to learn to idle, and pedal back
    a rev, so it helps to have a little entertainment to past the time. I
    would suggest War and Peace, 10 seasons of Friends, or perhaps just
    Gandhi , if you are a faster learner then me.
    Then when you can idle, and ride back a turn, find a stretch of
    pavement where there is a long 4' high fence. I found that was a
    perfect hight to hold onto while I practiced riding backwards. I'm
    still iffy on that, but could do 50' or so the last time I tried on my
    20. Whatever you do, don't let all the hot shots on this forum psych
    you out. You will need to put in some time.🙂

  10. Use a curb, log or brick. Then move onto a 2X4, then a 1" thick board.
